How Girls Can Help Their Country

Girls sometimes ask, “What was Girl Scouting like in the old days?” Many answers may be found in the first Girl Scout Handbook called “How Girls Can Help Their Country.”  This handbook was used by the great-great-grandmothers of today’s Girl Scouts, who pioneered the excitement and experience of Girl Scouting.  This is the first of the many handbooks used to guide the rapid growth of the movement from the original eighteen members to the millions of members today.

There are different ways to earn our 100th Anniversary Patch depending on your grade level. All activities are broken down into 5 categories:

• Girl Scout Promise
• Leadership
• Courage
• Confidence
• Character

Daisy and Brownie Girl Scouts must finish at least one activity in each category.

Junior and Cadette Girl Scouts must finish one activity in each category plus one more activity from any category.

Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts should complete one activity in each category and lead a younger Girl Scout Troop in at least one activity from the patch requirements.

For more information about this patch program you can download this informational sheet or email Susan Miller at smiller at gswrc dot org.

Here’s a sneak peek at the Girl’s Guide to Girl scouting from our favorite Brownie Elf. Some of you have already seen it, and if you haven’t, I hope you enjoy it! Afterward, jump over to our Training Site and check out our new online Girl’s Guide to Girl Scouting training.
